I think the partnership between this project designers and MorphOS team would be just an ideal solution, here's why:

1. The "newest" notebook able to boot to MorphOS was made in 2005, so MorphOS team needs a new piece of hardware urgently.
2. PowerPC Notebook team's got hardware, but ain't got no software to run on it (like seriously guys, PowerPC based notebook running Debian sounds like a greeeeeeeeeeeeat no profit idea)
3. Both teams make an agreement.
4. PowerPC Notebook team is redesigning the mobo, so it could fit into a Powerbook G4 chassis. (Check my post in chassis thread on the forum)
5. It takes about a year for the MorphOS team to port their OS into this notebook, so in the meantime, PowerPC Notebook team is selling their mobo for Powerbook cases.
6. Both groups search for the manufacturer of a brand new chassis, with MorphOS logo on it, so it could be the genuine first Amiga-like laptop ever.
7. Chassis is ready, MorphOS has been successfully ported, second part of distribution can be started.
8. Pure profit.

What do you think, guys?

Hey guys,
I've just come up with an idea. What about designing the mobo the way that it could fit into 15" Powerbook G4 chassis? Simply reusing everything, beginning with chassis itself, ending up with a touchpad, keyboard and LCD screen?

This solution could lower the production cost for the first period of sales, 'till the right manufacturer of the chassis would be found.

I personally would love to just swap the mobo with my old Powerbook G4, giving it a new life. Moreover, it would be environmental friendly, so the product could be advertised that way.

What do you think guys?
